Stupid poll, I cant decide

[locoluna825]

I have had a couple of these altima trunk locks, but i cant decide whether or not to put it on. Heres a few pics for you. vote what you think.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Really? You're accessorizing?

That's just gay. Worry about something that will actually benefit the car.

[speedeast]

Do whatever you want whenever you want. Sometimes I do little things just to keep my motivation up while I'm waiting on big things.

I DID however vote for the lowering. Not necessarily because it should come first but because my opinion isn't reflected in your poll. I think you should either delete the keyhole or have the exposed components powdered black. $0.02

[locoluna825]

LOL Wait Wait I HAVE lowered the car and I have some new rims thats just an old rear shot of my car. I did think about painting the stock key hole black aswell. Thanks for your opinion.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Pics or it's a lie. :P

BTW, before anyone assumes I did it, I did NOT add the "lower it" option. I simply voted for it.

LMAO, that's where my vote went too. I wanted some updated pics too!

[locoluna825]

Very Sorry, My bad for posting up an old pic. I got lazy.

[simmode1]

I say put the Altima lock on. Do a writeup if it's not straightforward. But yes... Moar lower, too...

[Black on Gold]

I say do it, it's something different and relatively cheap.

Too many people are doing the same thing's to their cars. It gets old after awhile

[Wretched]

i wouldn't do it...but to each their own.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

i would do it if I had a coup.....and moar lower

[OM3GA]

Lo

[evad]

I need a trunk lock...period. Someone ruined it when they broke into my trunk for no apparent reason since it was empty. Now I just have hole there...

[locoluna825]

would you like an altima lock... >_>

[evad]

would you like an altima lock... >_>

Na...maybe I'll buy one of those spiffy s13 trunk locks from ebay

[Armstec_S13]

Well I say if your stock one is already messed up try it, I did a writeup with the silvia trunk lock which is the same for that, follow the link in my sig, I say put it on for now and rock that till you buy the spiffy silvia lock.

[locoluna825]

Well I put the lock on a long time ago, just was to lazy to take picutres of it. So here you go. This is what it looks like. It doesnt sit very flush to the trunk lid. but it fits. Im going to have to modify the back of it with a dremal to make it more flush.

[drewce]

actually looks pretty goood

[locoluna825]

Thanks, I didnt really like it when i first put it on. but the more i look at it i kinda like it there. I think im gonna get another silver one and see how that looks compared to the fadded gold one i have on there now.

[dre1507]

That looks really nice. Good work.

[leesredgt]

I actually really like it.I didnt think i would but i do.lol

[safin]

coupe trunks dont 'pop'?shaved FTW

it looks good tho, it's too big

[locoluna825]

So everyone I found a way to make it more flush to the lid. and it worked well! Sorry, no pic yet. All I did was just grind away at the base of the lock with a dremel, where it touches to the trunk. and it made it sit flusher.



Also these altima locks will not work with your old lock cylinder, the ones from our stock key locks are to short for the body of the altima lock. Even the arm/lever on the lock that opens the trunk on the two locks are in different locations.



Stock lock cylinder

Altima lock cylinder

The altima lock cylinder is a tad longer than our stock cylinder. It also cuases the little arm/lever to be in the wrong location for it to open your trunk.



You have to modify the body of the altima lock.SO I modified it.



Stock altima lock

Modified altima lock

I had to cut it down and regroove the body...



So that the spring would sit confortably and not bind up. For the lock to retract back to normal position when you remove your key.



Now your stock lock cylinder can be installed.



Dont mind the locks being different colors. Its becuase I screwed up half way into moding the first lock and had to use another gold one.

BEFORE

AFTER

So, stuck it in the trunk everything went right in very nicely, and now becuase of how I modified it the arm is in the right location to open my trunk with my key!!
